A few overalle questiosn - HDD cage or rubber pads?

#1 Post by nullface » Thu Oct 07, 2010 9:14 pm

I'm using the same thread for a few extra questions so i dont overflow the forums :D

First off, I noticed that my X200 has 3 connectors and ony two anre used with my WiFi card, could I use a Intel Centrino ULTIMATE-N 6300 with it (if its on the whitelist... is it?)?

And what relpacemnt display is the greatest, i tryed to find a HV121WX4-120 but it is almost impossible :(

Old question:
I have a X200 that came with a SDD in it and the original 80GB HDD was included.
I noticed that the 80GB HDD was mounted in a smalle cage and the SSD is mounted with rubber pads.

Why is the SSD mounted in the cage isnted of the pads, or should the one who installed the SSD have had used bot (with the pads only it seems difficult to remove the SSD again)?

If they are 2.5" drives, you should use both the conventional cage (caddy) and the rubber rails.

Further clarification:
The "rubber pads" on the SSD carrier are different from the "rubber rails" that mount on the hard drive caddy. The SSD "pads" do not fit the hard drive caddy. Below is a picture of the hard drive caddy and the rubber rails that it uses:

You sure about that? The size of my SSD in the cage and the HDD in the cage seem the same. And the HDD rubber pads fit, maby not perfekt but acceptable.
